During the month of May we had Johan and Bets from The Netherlands enjoy a few days diving with us at Two Fish Divers Lembeh. They had spent lots of time in Bunaken practicing their ‘wide-angle’ photography and so were excited about being in Lembeh to get some macro shots as well!

This Coconut Octopus was feeling a little down when he had lost his coconut but when he came across this jar, he decided that coconuts were not necessary anymore for him!! In Lembeh we often see Octopeds using anything that they can get their arms on to hide in – wood, bottles and cups!!

These Orangutan Crabs (Achaeus japonicus)look to be having fun bouncing around on this Bubble Coral. Orangutan crabs are small spider crab that can be found also in soft corals and red algae. As you can probably guess the body is covered with long red, orange or purple hair for camouflage.

The beautiful specimen is a Harlequin Shrimp (Hymenocera elegans). They are rarely seen due to the fact they only tend to leave the shelter of their crevice to find a unsuspecting starfish for their next meal. They look all pretty and nice but they keep the starfish alive as long as possible by eating the legs first and leaving the central disk for their final feast!!

Thank you again Johan for sending these and all the others through to us, we really enjoyed looking at them! Next time you come, you can do a presentation to other guest with our new projector and screen!!
